It is certain that.the patriotic parties' have entered Vega de la Granada, and that the pardon gvanted by the Supreme Council of Regency to the deserters and fLigi . iives• of our army, has been phi' carded in all parts. of the town. This circumstance has enraged General Sebastiatti, who is making the, t , mo , dilig , lst sear c h a l ter t h e person who placarde d those procl,:mticus.
